Where did the Mayas go? That great and mysterious civilization vanished
nearly completely from the face of the planet, leaving us to ponder
their disappearance. I believe the Mayan civilization experienced a
planetary ascension. If this is true, then what does it mean to those
of us who are working to bring about personal and planetary ascension?
What happens exactly when planetary ascension occurs? I am hoping we
can interact with the Mayas and learn from them some answers to these
mysteries and learn some of their ascension secrets. Over the next
three weeks we will focus our thoughts on the Mayas of the old world,
and by so doing we invite the Mayas to focus their thoughts on us.
The articles for this ritual, designed to help us get closer to the
Mayas, will be Introduction, A Civilization Ascending, Ca-bala - Two
Universes, The Portals of Palenque, What is a Portal, Locating Your
Portal, and finally the ritual.

In my inner plane experiences of the Mayas, they are Time Lords,
existing still in their own dimension. We can go there and visit them,
even participate in their initiations and rituals. This is one of the
results we hope to achieve in Ritual of the Sarcophagus Portal, to
visit their world and interact with them. We can begin by gaining an
understanding of their abstract way of thinking about virtually
everything. If we can think like them just a little bit, the barriers
between us will begin to dissolve as our minds meet.

The leader of the Mayas is Lord Pacal, known to many as Pacal Votan. He
is a Shield Guide and the most accomplished of the Time Lords. Lord
Pacal was in Palenque, Mexico in 603 CE. His father was the king.
When Pacal was only 9 his father died, but Pacal could not claim the
throne until he was 12. He was crowned by his mother, Lady Zac-Kuk, who
narrowly held the throne for him for three years while fending off
relatives asserting their claims.

Pacal became a great king, a Divine Ahau, and established Palenque as
one of the most renown civilizations. He died at age 80 and was placed
at the bottom of the Temple of Inscriptions, which he built as his tomb.
He designed his sarcophagus as his portal to the afterlife, connected by
a spirit tunnel to Otherworld. Carved onto the 7-ton lid of the
sarcophagus are designs stating Pacal's personal beliefs and those of
his civilization regarding each individual's place and purpose within
the universe. The deeper meaning of these designs is a mystery to the
archaeological world, but when viewed in the light of the Mayan
religious beliefs, the symbolic designs take on clearer
meaning and speak directly to us today in our own striving for conscious
co-creativity.

A CIVILIZATION ASCENDING

The Sarcophagus of Lord Pacal is the most remarkable burial artifact
ever unearthed in the Americas. Identified as an astronaut in a space
ship and as a man falling into the underworld and being swallowed by the
jaws of death, the sarcophagus portrays a man and a civilization in the
moment of ascension. The sarcophagus was unearthed in 1952 after three
seasons of work removing the rubble and boulders that had been pushed
down the tunnel by the Mayas. The archaeologists discovered at the
bottom of the tunnel a 30 ft long x 13 ft. wide carved slab that
appeared to be the floor. Inside the corbel vaulted tomb was a
"fantastic, etherial sight, a huge magic grotto carved out of ice, the
walls sparkling and glistening like snow crystals. Stalactites hung like
tassels of a curtain, and the stalagmites on the floor looked like the
dripping from a great candle."

These startling visual effects were created by the lime issueing from
the walls and ceiling. When the archaeologists lifted the slab from the
coffin, they were greeted once again by a fantastic sight as they gazed
upon the Great Green of the Cosmic Ocean, the thousand pieces of jade
covering the king's body. "The great man--he was probably a priest--had
no gold ornaments, but here were quantities of jade objects--beads,
rings on every finger, bracelets, ear ornaments, and exquisitely carved
figurines. These were in the form of flowers, little gourds, bats,
snakes and heads, and human figures with the characteristics of certain
Mayan gods. The buried man had a jade ornament in each hand and another
in his mouth; his neck and shoulders were covered with a huge
collar-and-breast ornament of jade beads. On his face were the remnants
of a mask of jade mosaic."

The explanation currently being offered regarding the ocean of jade
covering the king's body is that he was a great king, highly esteemed by
his subjects. And this is true, he was a great king, highly esteemed,
but the reason for the quantity of jade is more complex and far more
fascinating.

CA-BALA - TWO UNIVERSES

"Three, seven, eight thousand was the creation of the world, when he
who was hidden within the stone, hidden within the night was born." (The
Book of the Jaguar Priest, Maya)

According to the symbolism displayed on the sarcophagus, Lord Pacal
believed the cosmos was preceded by a time when Nothing Existed. This
Nothing, which Existed before the material universe was emanated, before
anything existed in the sense that we think of as existence, was Creator
and Created, Thinker and Thought existing in the Primal Realm of Silence
in the primordial state of undifferentiation. The Primal Realm of
Silence is portrayed on the top portion of the sarcophagus, as recorded
in the Mayan creation myth of the 16th c. CE, 700 years after the
sarcophagus and the Temple of Inscriptions were completed.

"Before the world was created, Calm and Silence were the great kings
that ruled. Nothing existed, there was nothing. Things had not yet been
drawn together, the face of the earth was unseen. There was only
motionless sea, and a great emptiness of sky. There were no men
anywhere, or animals, no birds or fish, no crabs. Trees, stones, caves,
grass, forests, none of these existed yet. There was nothing that could
roar or run, nothing that could tremble or cry in the air. Flatness and
emptiness, only the sea, alone and breathless. It was night; silence
stood in the dark.

In this darkness the Creators waited, the Maker, Tepeu, Gucamatz, the
Forefathers. They were there in this emptiness, hidden under green and
blue feathers, alone and surrounded with light. They are the same as
wisdom. They are the ones who can conceive and bring forth a child from
nothingness. And the time had come." (Popol Vuh, Mayan)

Atop Pacal's World Tree is the green and blue Quetzal bird, the sacred
serpent-bird. Hidden beneath the green and blue feathers of the sacred
bird are the round faces of the Forefathers, who are "the same as
wisdom." They are "there in this emptiness, hidden under green and
blue feathers, alone and surrounded with light." Below them is the
serpent, and again in this civilization as well as others, the
serpent-bird kundalini symbolism. Out of the gaping jaws of the
serpent, and nestled within kernels of corn, emerge the maize gods,
the Energy-Intelligences and occult forces of the Mayan world.

The Maya deified the spirit of the maize, their main source of food,
regarding it reverentially with love. Maize is the gift of the gods,
and the jade stone is the Mayan symbol for the ear of corn before it
ripens. They say the green corn, green like jade, is hidden within the
stone. When the stone is smashed, the maize is born and becomes divine.
The jade and the corn are different but complimentary aspects of the
same Form or archetype, represented as maize gods.

When the Maya placed Lord Pacal's body inside his sarcophagus beneath
the temple and covered him with jade, he became "hidden within the
stone, hidden within the night." After his death, Pacal and the jade and
the maize gods, all different but complimentary aspects of the same
archetype, all returned to oneness, to Source, and Pacal acceded to his
divinity. Lord Pacal, wearing kernels of corn and long hair like the
maize gods, long and flowing like corn silk, is shown ascending his
coffin, transcending death to rebirth within the pantheon of Mayan gods,
and taking with him his civilization.

The Mayas say there are two universes, described by them as Ca-bala,
meaning "two hidden." There is the universe of heaven (The Boundless
Light) and the universe of earth (space-time and energy-matter). The
Chinese call these Earlier Heaven and Later Heaven. On the sarcophagus
Pacal is positioned between these two worlds. Beneath him, in the
universe of earth, is his coffin, decorated with a stylized water lily
monster. Lord Pacal is the Divine Child brought forth from nothingness
by the Maker. He is a boy who became the great Mayan king, the man who
became the brilliant Mayan mystic, the Shield Guide who came to guide
his civilization onto the ascension path. Lord Pacal died at age 80, but
his influence upon this planet has only increased since his death. Many
are the people who are guided by Pacal Votan.

"I was born like a lily in the garden, And so also was I brought up. As
my age came, I have grown up. And, as I had to die, so I dried up. And I
died." (Incan King Pachacuti, 1475 CE)

PORTALS OF PALENQUE

In various civilizations can be seen the attempt to create more powerful
geophysical portals in support of the metaphysical portals. The
geophysical portals at Palenque are in the temple-pyramids. At the top
of each pyramid is a temple containing an interior with an antechamber
and three rear sanctums. The center chamber, called the "pib na," is a
miniature house, the portal to wacah chan xaman waxac na -- World Tree
House of the North. This subtle structure, the central focus of
initiations into the Mayan mysteries, is in the dimension inhabited by
the Maya. Beside the astral house is the astral World Tree, seen on the
Sarcophagus of Lord Pacal. This World Tree, as we see it on the
sarcophagus, is the Mayan conceptual equivalent of the Kabala Tree of
Life. Kabalists write of the ascension experience of rising on the
spheres of the Tree of Life, and we see Pacal ascending the stylized
spheres of the Mayan World Tree.

The pib na is the physical portal and the equivalent of the metaphysical
portal. Inside the pib na is the geophysical portal into the
supernatural realm, called Otherworld by the Maya. The portal to
Otherworld could be opened when an individual achieved an altered state
of shamanic consciousness. To achieve this state of consciousness, many
of the Central and South American Indians drink an hallucinogen. The
Mayas used drastic measures, inflicting physical pain upon themselves
and drawing blood, in order to enter the trance-like state of
consciousness. The men used an obsidian knife to cut the penis, and
both men and women ran a rope of thorns through the tip of the tongue.
When the portal opened, the Energy-Intelligences from Otherworld entered
and exited the body through the fontanelle, the soft spot at the top of
the head at the crown chakra.

The Mayan portal rituals were done to invoke the "Vision Serpent,"
referring to the kundalini serpent/spirit tunnel of the metaphysical
portal and referring to the 3rd eye chakra and remote viewing. They
would travel through the portal/tunnel and "become the sky," or become
Och Chan (invisible), the perspective gained by the Vision Serpent experience.
Inside the House, of both the temple-pyramid and one's consciousness,
exists the portal to Otherworld. Macrocosmically, the House of the
temple-pyramid was accorded a special place in the center of the Mayan
universe, exactly between the universe of heaven and the universe of
earth, and connecting them. Microcosmically, Lord Pacal's position on
his sarcophagus expresses this divine architecture, and the sarcophagus
itself is designed to be a portal.

LOCATING YOUR PORTAL

Everyone has a portal because portals are predictable openings in the
curtain of space-time and energy-matter. Portals typically are sited
near water, although they don't have to be. In the home the portal
usually is part of the bathroom near your bedroom. The portal is near
the bedroom because that is where you sleep and near the bathroom
because that is where the water is. In my bedroom are two portals; one
occupies the same space as the doorway to the bedroom and the other is
the doorway to the bathroom. A portal "path" runs between them.

There may be something in your room that is marking the location of the
portal for you. I have a ceramic of the planetary Shield Guide Gillian, who
stands atop my sound system of my dresser and turns always toward the
bedroom door portal all on its own power. There are two quartz points
at the base of this Guide, and these pieces of quartz turn the Guide
toward the portal. Gillian looks directly at this portal and if I turn
the Guide to face forward, in a few days the Guide has turned back to
look again at the portal. Investigate your sacred space carefully for
such signs.

Quartz rocks and crystals are helpful in finding the portal and
necessary in opening it. There are many varieties of quartz and
probably all of them will work. Milky quartz has been, for me, the
best. It is the most common quartz, but also the most mysterious. We
still do not fully understand how milky quartz is formed. Place the
quartz on the floor in different areas of the room and find the place
that seems to respond somehow to the quartz. Don't worry if you can't
find it right away, or even this time! We're just looking. Many
people have quartz crystals but if not, the quartz in your jewelry
will work. Just place the jewelry on the floor and try to find the
portal. If you think you've found it or if you are not finding it at
all and you have questions, please ask. I will email you again about
what to do next. In this Mayan ritual it is appropriate to use jade,
the sacred stone of the Maya. Also appropriate are all kinds of blue
stones, to symbolize Maya Blue, the special color of the Maya.

The Mayas are here already, a week before the ritual! They will be here
for at least two weeks. Tune into them and you may begin to experience
them. I have hundreds of Mayas here in my home. Lord Pacal is here and
he has brought with him an astral dormitory of initiate priests, young
Mayan men who are following their spiritual paths. They have come for
the ritual and they have come early to prepare themselves and us for
this momentous universal activity. They are setting out their ritual
objects, putting up posters, preparing their ritual drinks, and there is
generally a flurry of organizational activity. The energy is very high
here, as you can imagine!

This powerful event we are involved in is Light of the Cross, the Light
produced when Spirit and Matter come together. Light of the Cross is
beginning to occur right now at a planetary level, as the planets
prepare to come into conjunction on January 23rd. The Mayas perform
their rituals during planetary conjunctions. The planets will align to
form the hexagram/hexagon, or 6-pointed star and Star of David. From the
Emerald Table of Hermes Trismegistus, the hexagram/hexagon, sign of the
Merkaba, of the light-body, is the most powerful of configurations, made
even more powerful when the energy is alchemically transmuted.

"The power is vigorous if it be changed into earth." (Precept 6, The
Emerald Table)

By performing this ritual we will be grounding this celestial energy,
transmuting it, or changing it, "into earth." All over the planet
people will be focusing on love, compassion and understanding, the
highest of virtues. During Ritual of the Portal we will be adding to
this focus the intent of interdimensional communication and
interaction - of bridging the worlds of existence. This ritual is
therefore interdimensional in purpose, and just as we hope to
interact with the Maya in their dimension of existence, they will be
performing the ritual with us in hopes of interacting with beings in
other dimensions of existence, creating a great chain of being.

If you would like to begin interaction with the Mayas now, no need to
wait until the ritual. Verbally invite them to your home by asking them
to come through your portal. It is a rare opportunity to spend time
with the brilliant people who built one of the most astonishing
civilizations we will ever see and who are still actively working to
elevate this planet to its highest potential.

PACAL'S BRIDE

Friends of mine have been urging me to tell to my friends on the
internet the story of how I became a Shield Guide specializing in
grounded ascension. I am taking this opportunity to do so because
this is the Mayan ritual and I have a special relationship with
Lord Pacal.

An unusual series of events led me to become the lightwork project
leader of the Ritual of the Portal for Planetary Ascension. This is how
it happened, and I hope when you read my story you will gain a clearer
vision of how and why Ritual of the Portal found you. I also am hoping,
through Ritual of the Portal, to introduce you to this spiritual path by
showing you levels of spiritual mastership available to you.

After living many lifetimes, most of which I am aware, even the details,
I was born a Taurus in the United States in Georgia in 1948. I grew up
here and have never traveled outside this country. The part of Georgia
in which I live is a swampy, primeval area. In fact, I live between two
swamps, the Okefenokee and the Altamaha. These are Indian names, I live
on Creek Indian ground. In the pond in my backyard are alligators, Great
Blue Herons, all kinds of wildlife. The pond is a protected wetland. So
I am an Earth sign living in a wet, earthy place. After many years of
meditating on water lilies and pond bugs, little wonder I insist on
groundedness.

I have a Master's degree in English Education and I once owned and
operated a karate school in Atlanta. I was always a physically active
person, keen on fishing and hiking, and also a voracious reader. Many
of the books I read are modern metaphysical books, but I also have read
many of our great modern philosophers, the great Hellenic philosophers,
most of the Perennial Philosophy, and the great and not-so-great
literature of the Western World. I speak English only, except in
light-body I am fluent in Italian.

Several years ago my life changed when Spirit began to manifest in my
life. I lived in Atlanta, Georgia, I was single (I am still), I worked
as a commercial real estate leasing agent and legal assistant and I
played tournament bridge professionally. This was my life and had been
for many years until one day my close friend and bridge partner
unexpectedly lost her 51 year old husband to a heart attack. He was
straightening his tie one morning, getting ready to go to work, and
dropped dead. The paramedics revived him six times, and he was dead on
arrival at the hospital. But he didn't go away, immediately. He remained
behind in spirit because he had something important to tell her.

Three weeks after his death, my friend called to tell me of a strange,
vibrating place in her bedroom. She believed her dead husband came in
and out of her room through that spot. With my tarot cards I went to her
home to see if I could contact her husband. I had never done anything
like this before but I felt very hopeful. My friend showed me the
vibrating spot in her bedroom and we called it a portal. It was
intensely electrostatic and we could not stand in it for more than a few
seconds.

I laid out the tarot cards, and she and I called for the forces of the
universe, elements of the universe and beings of light to come and help
her communicate with her husband to see what he had to tell her. Through
the portal came 30 or 40 beings, it was hard to say how many, and they
brought with them great joy and love. The room filled with a gossamer
haze, and we had a party, we laughed, we joked, we were so very happy.
That night after the spirits left, my friend had a dream in which she
spoke at length with her husband. In this dream he told her of a
mortgage life insurance policy he owned that had been mistakenly paid
to his ex-wife. They held each other close and kissed and said goodbye
one last time. Then, he was gone and has not returned. She has since
remarried.

The next day my friend's attorney contacted the life insurance company,
who wanted to wait until they had recovered the money from the ex-wife
before paying benefits to my friend. Of course, the attorney threatened
legal action, and the insurance company sent her a check for close to
$100,000.00. The same night my friend spent with her husband, I
experienced a psychic event in which a brilliant white light went bang
in my biofield. From that moment on I had spirit guides who have never
left me for even one second. My friend and I had such a wonderful portal
experience, we wanted to repeat it. The second Ritual of the Portal
involved my friend and I, two married couples: my cousin and his wife
and two good friends who lived near me. We held a conference call portal
ritual to see if we could interconnect at the spirit/astral level.

We realized by the amazing things which occurred during this ritual,
that portal ritual could be held world-wide to the benefit of many
people interested in spiritual self-development and self-empowerment.
To accomplish this, I went online the middle of August, 1996, and in
September I emailed Ritual of the Stonehenge Portal. I sent one of the
emails to Rene Mueller at Spiritweb, and he responded by posting the
ritual on his website. Rene is instrumental in bringing awareness of
Ritual of the Portal to the international spiritual community on the
internet. After Rene's action, several websites began posting the
rituals and other related texts.

In September, prior to the email of Ritual of the Stonehenge Portal, the
Shield Guides appeared in the inner planes, initiated me as a Shield
Guide and began Ritual of the Portal for Planetary Ascension with Fire
Ritual to Invoke the Shield Guides. The Shield Guides assist in
selecting the planetary vortex-portals we link to, the series in which
we activate those portals, the dates and times when would be most
beneficial to establish heightened planetary consciousness, and the
rituals to perform. We have so far performed fire, fire water, and earth
rituals. We will perform air ritual during the Sarcophagus Portal and
then Concourse of the Forces - Fire Water Air Earth - during
Ritual of the Cathedral Portal. The Shield Guides are teaching us how
to channel earth energy with the chakra system, and how the chakra
system is fundamental to personal and planetary ascension.

With the exception of the Shield Guide material that follows at the end
of this biographical, I do not channel these guides in the popular way
of channeling today, but we work together in a most interesting way that
is very fulfilling for all of us. They make many sounds around me, and
whoever is present can hear them. They ring bells, they ring chimes,
they tap on my computer as I write to keep me on the right path. If I am
making an error in my writing, they make a tap that I have learned means
"no, not quite." If my writing is good and correct, they make a tap that
means to me, "well done." When they are very pleased with my efforts,
they ring the astral bell. It is a deep, resonant sound. Most of the
time they ring it for the heck of it and because I like it and because
the sound keeps our portal here in my bedroom open all the time. When
my computer is off and email comes in, they tap to tell me. They can
tap syllables loudly or softly so that I have some idea of who the email
is from and I can decide whether I need to respond right away. They
release a beautiful aroma of spring flowers in the room. This is quite
an experience for people who come to visit me.

Using lit candles I can see my guides as shadows against the wall. I can
see their hands make the candle flames sway and jump. They can produce
electrical phenomena and are able to move physical objects with force.
They move objects in my room from place to place. At night I see my
guides face to face, and we talk and travel the universe together. They
tell me directly many things for me to write word for word. They
physically touch and move in and out of my body at will through the top
of my head at the fontenelle at the crown chakra. They perform complex
inner alchemical operations on me to keep my crown chakra and my back
of the head chakra activated. My guides are very diverse and come from
all parts of the physical and spiritual universe. Some of them are
human, some are alien, some are pure light, some are pure consciousness,
some are bird tribe, and some seem like a mixture of all of the above.

I have been through many inner plane initiations and received many
initiatory awards in group activities at the astral/light body level.
These awards represent levels of spiritual mastership corresponding to
the chakra system, or the seven seals of Solomon. Solomon's Knot,
symbol of fusion, describes the nature of this spiritual path.

Also in astral body I made a Divine Marriage with Lord Pacal of the Maya
and was married in a ceremony at Chartres Cathedral. In this "marriage"
I accessed a part of myself capable of time travel. I am known to the
Maya as "Pacal's Bride." In Palenque, Mexico where Pacal lived and ruled
as king, are two hieroglyphs depicting me. One is in the Temple of the
Inscriptions, where the Sarcophagus of Lord Pacal is buried. The other
is in the Temple of the Sun placed there by his son Chan-Bahlum.

A series of hieroglyphs tell the story from the Mayan perspective of my
life with them during the 7th century CE when I held the throne as one
of only two queens to have ever done so. I claimed the throne on October
22, 612 CE, (March of 1993 in our time) 202 days before the end of the
ninth katun, when Pacal was nine years old. Known to them as First
Mother, I held the throne for three years for my spirit husband until he
attained the age of twelve. He could not keep the throne without my
intervention because too many powerful family factions were vying for
it. The Mayas interpreted my appearance as divine intervention. Now Lord
Pacal is here with me through "divine intervention." I was there for
three years their time, but in my own time in Atlanta only one week
passed, and I remember all of it very clearly as "dreams." The
hieroglyphs in Palenque tell the story of what I did there, saying
"she materialized and crowned herself."

When initiated as a Shield Guide, I received from three Shield Guides a
silver chain-link necklace and a silver shield attached. The following
is the material I channeled:

The silver shield is the symbol of the Shield Guides. They are a vast
organization of diverse beings from all parts of the universe who are
organized to assist those in lower evolutionary domains. They disperse
themselves throughout the universe, sometimes in physical bodies through
physical births. When they take on physical bodies, they also take on a
forgetting of themselves so that they can learn the people and place and
where they are. Then, as their lives continue, their fellow Shield
Guides come to awaken them to their higher purpose. They come to remind
them of the reason they are here.

The Shield Guides lead civilizations onto ascension paths. When a Shield
Guide has reached a certain level of awareness and re-awakening, that
guide is given the symbol that they once wore. The symbol of the Shield
Guide is a silver shield, sometimes attached to a silver chain-link
necklace. The chains in the necklace symbolize the vital links between
the guides and the people they guide, and how both are dependent on the
other for their fulfillment in existence. The shield symbolizes the
planetary organizations that the Shield Guides represent. This is an
interdimensional organization of life systems throughout the phenomenal
and neumenal universe. This is a winged body of planetary systems,
symbolized on the shield by a winged being.

To receive the silver shield of the Shield Guide is the way one knows of
their identity as a Shield Guide. This is the awakening part of a
process over a long period of time in which the individual is given the
opportunity to grow spiritually and to learn of their Shield Guide
identity. Only Shield Guides present the silver shield to a Shield
Guide. The Shield Guide is a bridge from this evolutionary domain to
others that require the guide's presence. The Shield Guides will come
when they are called. To summon them, perform Fire Ritual to Invoke
the Shield Guides at Stonehenge ritual.

A Spiritual Revelation about the Enlightenment and its Social Oppression

This is a Shield Guide portal. We are a vast organization of beings from all parts of the universe and an interdimensional organization of life systems that represent a winged body of planetary systems. We assist in developing light-network domains and appear when requested to shield and guide civilizations on ascension paths. We form portals bridging this evolutionary domain to others in the universe on similar ascension paths.
